Our at-first-underestimated heroine, Meg Murray (Anna Ryzenga) is the heart of the show. Besides Meg the other characters are identified only by Reader # in the cast list — though some are further identified in their bios. My apologies for not being able to identify who played the younger brother, Charles Wallace, with such charm and energy. Claire Wilcher was particularly magical as Mrs. Whatsit. I was told that Cameron Michael Chase was the dog, among other things — excellent canine abstraction.
With the help of the mysterious Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who (Darah Donaher) and Mrs. Which (Heather Mahoney) the frightened outsider Meg and her brother, with charming friend Calvin (Chris Helder) are transported by “tesseract” (a folding of space/time) into a quest to rescue their missing father. There are challenges, pitfalls and fantastical and scary creatures along the way, but Meg faces her fears, and triumphs through the unwavering force of love.
WRINKLE is recommended for audiences aged 10 and above, as it may be too scary for younger kids — and it runs an hour and 45 minutes without intermission. It continues through next weekend in MSU’s ARENA theatre, on the lower level of the Auditorium Building, Farm Lane entrance.
